Digital Technology for Local Knowledge ConservationCase Study: Javanese Vernacular Architecture

Robertus Setiawan Aji Nugroho, MoediartiantoSoegijapranata Catholic University (SCU)www.unika.ac.id/ub

To develop a web based framework/ software allowing for the conservation of

local knowledge and the provision of interactive educational facilities

To actively promote and encourage Javanese vernacular values with modern

interpretations amongst learners of the information technology age

Aims and Objectives

Cultural identity uniqueness of Javanese vernacular architecture

Why?

Vernacular values are less popular and respected by present day generation

Diminishing local knowledge

Why?

Existing knowledge of Javanese culture in SCU are fragmented or not well presented

Why?

Methodology

1. Weekly Meeting2. Digitalization of existing

knowledge3. Surveys4. Module writing5. Joint Requirement

Planning6. Course Implementation7. National Workshop

Methodology

• Who are involved?• Team:

• 3 Lecturers• R. Setiawan Aji Nugroho (Faculty of Comp. Science)• Moediartianto (Faculty of Arch. And Design)• Krisprantono (Faculty of Arch. And Design)

• 5 Students• Hamid Hendi (Faculty of Arch. And Design)• Surya Hadi (Faculty of Arch. And Design)• Ady Priambogo (Faculty of Arch. And Design)• Arries Riyadi (Faculty of Comp. Science)• Vincentius Riyandaru (Faculty of Comp. Science )

• Students of Faculty of Architecture and Design (course implementation)

Implementation

Field observation collecting data to confirm the previous researches information

Implementation

Modeling process transforming real images of building into digital primitive shapes

Modeling process presenting in 3D rendered models and animation Uploaded at Youtube

channel: vernakular100

Implementation

Implementation

E-Learning development• combining all resources

• Joint Requirement Planning to get feedbacks • Implementation in the course/subject

• Part of a subject curriculum

Outcomes

Project LogBook (http://www.unika.ac.id/ub) Communication tools

between team, UB and public about the progress of the project

People could learn and understand how was this project done

OutcomesYoutube Channel:

• 3D modeling of Javanese Vernacular Architecture

• Will be a part of the learning module

• Javanese vernacular is promoted via visual media in the internet, will

be linked to e-Learning website.• Still in progress

Outcomes

E-learning media• Students and other people have easy and fast access to

learn about Javanese Vernacular

• Culture preservation is happened knowledge

• In Progress

Applications

It will be a part of learning method in Theory and History of Architecture course which discusses the principles and essence of traditional architectural theory and form.

Could be assignments to explore and interpret local knowledge using 3D visualization and multimedia literacy

Recommendation

Develop interlibrary system to explore and conserve local knowledge between university partners

In architectural research and academic field, widen alternative in analytical and design process of vernacular architecture.
